Ahh- I was wondering about the boards but was going to ask about that later- I had thought perhaps they were "official use only".
Nifty, thanks for the info. :^_^: "A deed wouldn't be heroic if most heros didn't die attempting it"

Oh! I have more questions- Forgot them earlier, sorry.
I noticed you've changed the way you make characters up over the years (traits, flaws, character points, etc.) And I'm a little confused as to the current method you use- th webbies conflict a little, hre and there. Is it rolling, point buy or other/slash/players favoured option? (I ask mainly because I'm always interested in how other people generate their characters) Also I noticed that you've been starting the game charries off between 6- 13th level (mostly on the high end of the range). I'm curious. If I were to make a charrie is the ecl included in the level set beforehand or should I be making an effective level 4- 11 plus the ecl? Last one: do you allow "Scout" (Complete Adventurer, pg. 10) I noticed that you didn't have anything from CA listed- also there are "new" versions of the nightsong enforcer & infiltrator (pages 60-65) in case you'd like to compare those to the dragon mag. versions.

We've have gone through many many changes over the years, so yeah things will conflict on the website occasionaly until Mike updates them.
 We now go with the official 25 point buy to put where you want. Our game is now in the epic levels. Xull'rae is now like Lv 23 so she is ECL 25. We are still debating making a spin off campaign where we have new characters at level 1. That is still in discussion. All legal D&D books are allowed, so yes Scout is an option.  To be insane is to have a lack of understanding of what one is doing to themselves and others in their surroundings. It is a disorder of the mind that prevents remembering ones actions clearly.So if you think you are insane, such a thought is a coherent one that defines you as sane.

Oh, very naughty of you, tempting me.
"Tournament style" 25 point, eh? I'm used to 32 but I expect I can manage. -I've seen people on aol scream at 32 ("I can't make a decent character with *Those* points! What kind of game are you playing?!?" ::FrothFroth:: All very amusing.) Xull'rae is the highest pc? Ouch. Level 1? Thats just mean. ;p "A deed wouldn't be heroic if most heros didn't die attempting it"

Yes I'm a great seducer! :dramatically bats her eyes:
Yep 25 point buy. Everyone complains but they comply.  No I believe Vesz'aun is Level 25, making him the highest. Level 1 isn't mean, having epics is hard after awhile. To be insane is to have a lack of understanding of what one is doing to themselves and others in their surroundings. It is a disorder of the mind that prevents remembering ones actions clearly.So if you think you are insane, such a thought is a coherent one that defines you as sane.

No problem adapting: my concept is almst done. (Not that I'm going to line up I think, plenty more people intrested in the game when it restarts & I'd rather not spoil someone elses fun, but it is a great excuse to make up a new charrie.) Epic is jolly good fun. I have a tulani who sings showtunes & loves flower-shows. But hes only been around for a year or so & I havent run in to anything truely vexing yet.XD LOL Everyone and their dog does a level 1 start (at least online.) I used to fall for it in my exitiable young days and now politely decline. After all one Level 1 game is just like another, 'specially when you consider a random arrow hit can pop the best designed charrie. (For this I am considered something of a "game sabotaging" elitist on aol. Charming, no?) I will admit I'm rather amused by all the guys that go "Level 1 is teh best! Why would I want to start at higher level? More then 3? What? 6? Are you nuts? Nobody starts at 6!" Here we go, rank apprentices out to save the world from the dreaded doom of this weeks Great Evil, again! And That, That is why a level 1 start is mean.

Well we are more about the power struggles, plots and political intrigue than hack and slash, so a level 1 can survive easy enough. It's about the story we create, not the battles we win.

In that case, more power to you!
(though I still say level 3 is the more sporting.)Oh here's another question for ya: Are the 25 points on a base of 8 or base 10? "A deed wouldn't be heroic if most heros didn't die attempting it"

Hi there, base of 8, as detailed in DMG

Thanks.
Thats what I figured it was but you never know, some folks like using base 10. (and the cast-list pages confuzzled me a bit. Forgot they would be the older incarnations. My bad.) "A deed wouldn't be heroic if most heros didn't die attempting it"

Yeah the only one updated is Vesz'aun.

I guess I am just wondering where I am to join a quest or campaign... I mean I really want to play my character, but nothing has been set up yet... Just a little lost on where to go is all. Just curious.

To try and join the campaign you must submit a concept to the waiting list. As for the quest board, you either join one in progress or start your own adventure your way. You don't need us to set it up for you.

What do you mean by concept? Just I don't understand is all.

Your idea of a character and it's background as well as plans to tie him/it into our setting.

Just want to make sure I understand the process correctly. To submit my character for review, I just post a completed profile to the Waiting List and await a response?
That being said, my first character idea is a human Red Wizard of Thay. His purpose in the city would be twofold -- First, he is expected to try and gain support from the drow leadership of the city to build a Thayan enclave within the city (the Red Wizards are somewhat notorious for trying to establish enclaves in every location they possibly can). Second, he's been sent by a zulkir in Thay to investigate the shadow magic school through whatever means are available -- As a "guest," subterfuge, or any other opportunities. The Red Wizards are rabidly interested in magic and if word comes to them about this shadow magic academy, they might take a noted interest in it. I post this concept short to see if I can get "pre-approved," so to speak. Basically, I'm looking to see if I can get a green light to continue this character's development or if I am getting a "Road closed, please use another street." Does that make sense?Thanks for your time! |

Character submissions to the actual Waiting List are for purposes of our actual campaign, for which there are only so many openings at any one time (as the game is only meant to support so many players), and from which we then naturally choose from as needed if and when we lose a player.
As far as roleplaying here on the boards, anyone can join in on that at any time. The concepts submitted (along with any other information) are just as useful for boards roleplay so that everyone can get to know more about your character. In other words, "no roads closed" on that account  So in whichever event, we encourage you to continue the development as much as you'd like. Challenge in life is inevitable...defeat is optional.
